6500 upgrade SUP 720 boots to RMON

clpaul · ‎06-02-2011

Upgraded a 6509 with dual Sup720's to a 6509E Chassis. after installing the 2 SUP720's in the new 6509E chassis the SUPs boot to RMON any time they reload. From RMON I am able to use the boot command to load the IOS. I have used the BOOT= command and SYNC command in RMON. If I use the SET command in RMON the BOOT= command has the correct file and location. Same goes for sh boot in the IOS. What is wrong with the cards in the new Chassis? Nothing has seemd to correct the issue. Thanks!

HI -

What is the config-register value? is it 0x2102?

Can you paste the "show bootvar" output of the switch, if you have the output for the "SET" command from ROMMON that would also be great.

Regards,

ranraju

The sup boots right into RMON with no errors. I thought of the config register and checked that right away and it was fine. Even when I look at the boot var in RMON it shows the correct startup. I even reset them and used the SYNC command

Can you post the entire bootup process please?

clpaul · ‎06-06-2011

There are no errors in the boot process it just goes right to RMON. I can not post the entire bootup right now. I need to wait for a window to reboot the sup. Here is the sh ver and sh boot from IOS

Probably the switch supervisor config register is not correct . What you are looking at is the msfc register . Session into the supervisor and take a look at what that is set at . Boot up process is the L2 side supervisor boots first then hands off the L3 supervisor (msfc) to complete booting . If the L2 config register is incorrect then it will go directly into rommon. Use the remote login command to get into the L2 side.

Hi,

Please collect an output of rem com sw sh bootv and make sure the BOOT statements are correct and Configuration register is set to 0x2102.

Best regards,
